Teaching & Mentorship

ArcStart

A summer outreach studio introducing high school students to architectural design.
Summer 2013

Students were introduced to architectural design through technical drawings, model-making, photography, as well as some digital techniques. My role included leading studio classes, designing and running workshops, deskcrits, and mentorship throughout the duration of the program.

Drawing as a Design Tool

Students learned to use their drawings and models to develop their design concepts as well as develop their craft. Each student is an individual with unique needs, and the small studio size allowed us as instructors to provide the right attention and guidance to help them grow.

Arch 201 - Freehand Drawing

Fall 2012 and Winter 2013

ARCH 201 - Free-hand Drawing introduces students to basic architectural concepts through a series of hand-drawing techniques. These include technical skills and representations, such as plans, sections, elevations, and also builds a conceptual foundation for their future architectural work as they learn how to understand and analyze spatial design.

As a graduate student instructor, I guided the students through their projects, recognize their difficulties and their strengths, and to catalyze their development as individuals and designers.
